Suggest Remedy For Chest Pain During Bronchitis

Hi. I have had bronchitis for the last three weeks, and have never coughed so long and hard in my life. With my cough almost gone, I now have pain across my chest beneath both breasts. It hurts my sternum to cough, and when I take deep breaths or lay on my back, I experience pain under both breasts across the chest region. Should I wait a week or go back to the doctor for the third time?

Hello welcome to the health care magic

Usually in bronchitis by excess coughing muscular strain can occur and so pain can be there

But if cough still present than I will advise you to do chest x ray..

If your bronchitis not resolving than spirometry might needed

You can take anti-inflammatory drug for pain relief like ibuprofen

So after three to four days not improving Consult pulmonologoist for work up and examination

Take one tsp turmeric powder with milk daily

Steam inhalation done three times a day

Take care

Hope this will help you
